By far with me, my favorite Tony Peluso solo is on Goodbye To Love!!!
From what I understand, Richard pretty much knew he wanted Tony for this solo to and sought him out from a band Tony was in as the time back in 1971.
Love it!!!

 ;D ;D I went with two favorites that easily came to mind, though, like the rest of you, I sincerely have enjoyed each and every solo Tony has done. I gave creedence here to my ultimate favorite, Goodbye To Love - the reason I went with this one is because Tony had a lot to manuver around with this particular solo, since it was his groundbreaking work with Carpenters. I mean, Richard wanted more than what Tony was willing to give them, at first. He had a myriad of things to think about - the sound - the song itself - his style and how it would work with Carpenters music - what Richard expected - what the rest of the already close-knit, very tight-sounding band wanted, and basically, just what he wanted this guitar solo to "say" to the world. I think he did an awesome job - and let people know one could have a guitar solo, fuzzed and all, in a song without making it such a loud, screeching song that the "moms and dads" couldn't still listen to it. I think Tony did a very nice job of walking the fine line he was undoubtedly walking. Secondly, I have always enjoyed the I Just FAll In Love Again solo, too. I mean, it instantly came to mind as another of Tony's really good, perceptive solos. Tony seemed to really understand the various parts of the music so well - what I mean is not just that he felt the music, but that he felt the intensity with which Karen sang the given song, and how Richard and the band played it. An interesting question - thought provoking. Thanks. ;D ;D |

I chose "Goodbye to Love" and "Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft" - the two Peluso-Classics maybe..
"Calling Occupants.."
Like Rick already suggested, besides the technical quality of this solo, I think it just carries the spirit of the song perfectly..
"Goodbye to Love"
The legendary one - with good reason!
I love his guitar work in the end of the song even more than the actual solo..

Originally, I said Goodbye To Love which still stands with me but you asked for two so my second would be Jambalaya.
I guess I wasn't really sure which one I liked until I heard it again today in my car and I really like the guitar in that too; all the different instrumental parts in fact.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Tough choices and lotta well thought out and stated statements.
I go with G. to Love first for all the reasons exactly that have been expressed and then Only yest.
Way back when G. to Love came out, it was such a change from any other sounds from R. and K., that I have to say, I was not fond of it at all.
Well, I enjoyed all except the "hard rock" (ha) sound.
But over the years of hearing all kinds of songs from our duo, I surely hear it and appreciate it so much. such a SIGNATURE sound to me of the whole 70's to me!
Of course, Only yest. is my favorite C's song no doubt, and without
Tony's superb guitar in there not much song would be there!
Such a dynamic genius on guitar he is!

Wow.....I had not even thought (well, I didn't know it is the main reason) about how other bands became more interested in their use of the guitar after hearing G. to love....
